I would think you could achieve a similar effect by creating a bunch of simple shapes to fit certian areas (like the lips, eyelids, chin etc etc), and creating text inside these shapes.

Of course it would still take a lot of planning, fiddling with, and obviously a smidgen of talent.. but it could work! That's the only "shortcut" I can think of..

PS Hello all! I'll be posting irregularly.
